Keep I've added a small amount of referenced material. He captained his previous team, who play in the top division according to RSSSF, when they won the national cup in the season just gone. A ref from 2005 indicates that the top level in Nigeria (and the one below it) is professional. Oldelpaso (talk) 10:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
